Check vtable projections for validity in miri
Currently, miri does not catch when we transmute `dyn Trait<Assoc = A>` to `dyn Trait<Assoc = B>`. This PR implements such a check, and fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/3905.
To do this, we modify `GlobalAlloc::VTable` to contain the *whole* list of `PolyExistentialPredicate`, and then modify `check_vtable_for_type` to validate the `PolyExistentialProjection`s of the vtable, along with the principal trait that was already being validated.

r? ``@lcnr`` or types
I also tweaked the diagnostics a bit.

**Open question:** We don't validate the auto traits. You can transmute `dyn Foo` into `dyn Foo + Send`. Should we check that? We currently have a test that *exercises* this as not being UB:
6c6d210089/src/tools/miri/tests/pass/dyn-upcast.rs (L14-L20)
I'm not actually sure if we ever decided that's actually UB or not 🤔
We could perhaps still check that the underlying type of the object (i.e. the concrete type that was unsized) implements the auto traits, to catch UB like:
```rust
fn main() {
let x: &dyn Trait = &std::ptr::null_mut::<()>();
let _: &(dyn Trait + Send) = std::mem::transmute(x);
//~^ this vtable is not allocated for a type that is `Send`!
}
```
